Earlier today I wrote about the new Gamejabs service that extends twitter for its followers by making use of the ! instead of the #. At the time I suggested that symbols could be used to categorize tags - kind of a meta-meta-tag. The examples were:
- @ for people or groups (twitter)
- # for events (twitter)
- ! for sports teams (Gamejabs)
- $ for financial, investment entities
- ? for entertainment - movies, music, television
- Sign-ups (@) are free.
- Events (#) are free or paid listings by commercial organizations.
- Sports services (!) are subscription with added functionality, a la Gamejabs.
- Companies are definitely paid ($) and return company info - like news, stock quotes, jobs, etc.
- Entertainment (?) are paid by movies, TV, and bands - exclusive content for followers.
